October is for yellows and oranges

Luckily for me, when I was planning for this trip, I had a feeling that yellow was going to come into play for October's color of the month. I grabbed lots of yellows, golds, and oranges when I was packing up fabrics to keep me out of trouble busy while I visited down here.

Leading with a few kaleidoscopes -

in a range of contrast, from low to high. I've got more fabrics that I want to kaleid before the month is out, because you can never have too much yellow/orange!

And this is Ziggy.

I'm a little concerned about the tire-tread look he's sporting here. Or is it bacon?

I even found some of the correct colors at the local botanical garden -

and I made some pumpkin muffins, because there's no more glorious orange than a pumpkin!

The kaleidoscopes and Ziggy look great in yellow and orange! I'm afraid Ziggy is just bacon in disguise! Thanks for the pumpkin muffin recipe, too. I was just commenting on someone else's post today that I am really in the mood for pumpkin goodies, so I will have to try those.

You coined a clever new word, kaleid. Is that what butterflies do when they fly together? Poor Ziggy. Unfortunately he looks like he ran out in the road, got run over by a big truck and looks like bacon. But he is definitely a survivor and has quite an adventure story to tell. Maybe it's just a tall tail.
